Fontán Street Market

Fontán Street Market sets up three days a week in Plaza Daoiz y Velarde in Oviedo, running Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3pm. Around 30 stalls spread across the open plaza, selling mainly books, antiques, clothing and footwear. The market sits in the historic Fontán district, right next to the 19th-century covered Mercado del Fontán. Bring cash, as most stalls don't take cards. Get there early for the best picks, especially on Sundays when stalls start packing up by midday.

What you'll find

Most stalls focus on clothing and footwear, with a good section for second-hand books and antiques. You'll also find leather goods, accessories and the occasional vintage item. The neighbouring covered market handles the fresh food side, so the street market is entirely non-food.

How to get to Fontán Street Market

The market is in Plaza Daoiz y Velarde in central Oviedo, a short walk from the main pedestrian area. The Fontán district is fully pedestrianised, so you'll need to park elsewhere in the city centre. Several city bus routes stop within walking distance. It's worth combining with a visit to the other street markets in Oviedo or the covered Fontán market next door.
